P.O.W.

 

Sunday was Fathers day and it got me thinking about God the Father. So I thought that I would share a few passages about our Father.

2 Corinthians 1:3,4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.

Does this sound like your father? Not likely, most Dads are not very good at compassion and comfort. Thankfully we have a heavenly Father that will be able to comfort us when life isn't going so good. God our Father will always be there to listen to our problems and he will always be interested.

2 Thessalonians 2:16,17 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.

Lets take stock of everything that God our Father has given us. He has given us compassion, comfort, love, encouragement and hope. In Galatians 4:1-7 we are told that God has also made us heirs, there is an inheritance waiting for us in Heaven! What else could we ask for?

1 John 3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

Think about it, we are children of God, that is awesome!

Psalm 68:4,5 Sing to God, sing praise to his name, extol him who rides on the clouds - his name is the Lord - and rejoice before him. A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.

Isn't that the kind of father that you want? He protects those that are vulnerable. He is the Father to the fatherless and a defender of widows! Lets be thankful for our Father and everything that he has done for us!
